    ok, I admit it: I'm not a fan of flash, shockwave, or whatever other
    "plugin" jumping jiggly-motion-ware I'm supposed to <have dictated that
    I "need"> to <supposedly> improve my life, breach my security, "shake my
    screens around" or do anything else "for me" I don't want to =use= ANYway.

    the old version (0.9.3 was it?) of firefox worked GREAT without giving
    me that "nag bar" every eight seconds.

    how can I permanently KILL that "nuisace nag bar popup menu additional
    plugins are required..." dialog *nuisance*?

    can I do it by editing my 'about:config' or thru any =other= method
    known to man? if so, would you please outline the process?

    I'd be glad to hear of =any= method to achieve the goal. hopefully short
    of 'backgrading', uninstalling, and having to locate a firefox 0.9.3
    installer again?

    thanks in advance, guys

    Too bad neither of those links provide the "complete" answer. But they
    do get you on the right track...

    [http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/firefox-windows.html#issues-nullplugin]:

    How do I stop Mozilla Firefox from prompting me to install a plugin?

    Open about:config, and set plugin.default_plugin_disabled to false. Then
    delete the file named npnul32.dll from your Mozilla Firefox plugins
    folder. You may have to enable showing hidden files to do this.
